Do these things

Back up your points. This is very important as it adds credibility to the article. Include verifiable information from trustworthy and authoritative sources and include those sources in your article.

Hyperlink the sources directly onto the fact you are citing. This can include a statistic, person, quote, institution, and/or any other important fact that needs to be properly accredited.

Make sure your sources are up to date, and no more than two years old.
Do not use Wikipedia as a source. Here are 10 reasons why.

All links must naturally fit into the sentence/article and provide value to the reader.

Break it up. Our readers need and want something pleasing to the eye. Walls of text need to be broken up into digestible sections.

Use at least two headings (H2) to break up the content.

Use at least 1 image to help break up the text. Pictures can include:

Charts

Infographics

Images of the product you are writing about

Keep it original. We are looking for 100% original content.

We use Copyscape to check originality and to ensure no plagiarism is present.

Do not copy another person’s work in any capacity and then submitting it as your own.

No “spinning” another person’s work. This includes rewriting their idea in your own words. All content needs to remain original.

Be concise. Stay completely on topic and true to your thesis sentence. Cut out redundant information or information that does not add value to your article.

Have, and hone, a main message. Edit your intro that the point of your post is ridiculously clear.

Be descriptive. Don’t tell readers about something, answer all of their questions. Cover who, what, when, where, why, and how.

Make it concrete. Give examples, details, metrics. Make it real and deliver ‘aha’ moments for readers who may not understand.

Grammar matters. Before submitting your post, ensure that your post is completely edited, including correct grammar, spelling, and sources. We recommend the use of Grammarly.

Word Count. The best-performing articles contain 400-600 words. Try to keep it within this range.

Don’t do these things
